5 Books – No 4.
In spite of growing personal and political difficulties, my last year in Hungary remained productive. In addition to the exhibition reviews that I was writing for a literary journal, I was already becoming more and more active in the underground. I also published illegal material such as the Five Books (1970), a series of handmade, staple-bound booklets that I distributed among my friends and acquaintances at exhibition openings. These brightly colored pamphlets contained conceptual works that were not without irony and the occasional underlying political connotation. They were realized in the style of the artists’ books that were to become popular later on; in other words, they were emphatically mixed media and comprised original works and materials.
